Default Hill Hold in Neutral Option

Found this guy when I was searching for suspension options. Vehicle Hold Control Upgrade Kit | Harley-Davidson USA
Basically it's a sensor that sits near the sidestand, Jiffystand, Kickstand whatever. No need to put it in gear to activate autohold.

I noticed that, and see no value or benefit added, for me anyway

Interesting, it looks like it’s backward compatible with previous years models with RDRS. For $70 I’m game, I do use hill control once in a while, ability to use it in neutral won’t hurt.

Being able to use it in neutral for example stopped in a parking lot that has an incline would be awesome. I don’t want to have to mess with the kick stand. I don’t think I would trust it for parking without leaving it in gear which is all that is needed. Like mentioned above I don’t see the valve in it for me.

It frees up that left hand for sure. For 70 bucks and whatever minimum shop fee they charge, you can't beat that feature.

Will this be available for the USA model? Will have to look but don't recall an unused connector in that area below the water pump. Seems like a good idea as the current hill hold is not hands free.

FYI as of last Saturday,

I have this installed on my 24 Road Glide but my local said the software flash isn't available yet for the new bikes.

Interesting - I wonder how this might work on trike conversions. If it does, I may consider this.
